is the noise constant or does it get louder/higher pitched when you increase the revs? I thought squeel like that was always due to a stretched/ over tightened aux belt.

Mine's does this...turned out to be the clutch. Another member had the same issue, got a new clutch and the noise vanished.

Your in around 400-500 for Renault to do the work with new clutch kit and flywheel. Mines is in at the Min getting a new timing belt/Auxiliary belt and water pump change. I will ask them when I collect this afternoon.
